I screamed like a little girl. And I absolutely despise blocking down big logs while on spikes. Ever since then I would rarely take spar pieces longer than 3'-4', only if it had a lean toward the lay.
Butch, I smashed my thumb doing that about 15 years ago. My saw was extra sharp that day and cut through the log quicker than I expected and I pushed the bottom of the log right out causing the top to come back on me. It came down and smashed my thumb on the top of the spar, took 13 stitches to...
Smaller stuff or chunks where I can get leverage to push then I'll just cut straight through. It's a lot easier from a bucket because you can position yourself higher in relation to the work. Bigger stuff I'll snap cut and on really big fat rounds I'll snap cut and push it off with the boom. :/:
